Pictures of the Park in Town plus some.

The local park. The Frank E. Simon Memorial Park


A distant shot of a lake with some of the rolling hills behind it. Wanted to get closer... but looked like the lake was on private property.


Some distant rolling hills.


A shot of the river from the trail.


Closer up shot of the river.


Something about these trees caught my eye.










A shot of the trail I was walking with river in background.






A tractor jungle jim for the kids to play on in the playground.






A tribute to our soldiers.


Just as I was leaving the park they were letting the horses out.


A different looking cannon placed in the park. Didn't notice a sign for it.


In the park there is a gated off Pioneer Cemetery.


Another shot of the cemetery.


Headed towards town.


Why did the chicken cross the road?






In town taken from the bridge crossing the river.

From there I headed back home.... that was my walk for the day.

I just PMed pics of me to our friend Kathy.... A before pic of the last day Britt saw me... and an after pic of me taken today... her reply?...."Holly Crap!" That felt good!  Can't wait to get Britt's reaction!

I'd be interested too.

While we only see the face of the new you, I remember a previous profile picture of yours where you were quite substantially more round-faced than now. You have lost a lot of weight and in general I have the feeling that the move and the job have done a lot of good to you.

I PMed them to you Achim.

Well, I second Kathy's comment

I'm curious to see the photos.  On the other hand, I kind of like the anticipation of waiting.  I'm the same at Christmas.  Absolutely love it until it's time to open gifts.  It's the build-up I enjoy.  When it's time to open, I know it's almost over for another year.  Silly me.

Not sure if I should send them to you or not now... I confused!

Just from the small pics you've posted here it looks like you have lost a decent amount.

The park probably looks really pretty when the leaves change.  And in the spring, if any of them are flowering trees..that would be very pretty.

Well, I got the message last night.  I just couldn't remember my password to log in at home.  Or my user name it seems.

Britt and I are finally together again! 

Now that she has seen me I can publicly share the before and after pics of my weight loss.

This is what I looked like the last time I saw Britt just 7 months ago (that is of course Britt with me)...



And this is the new pic of me (taken just a few days ago)...



Keep in mind that the  clothes I am wearing here is only 3 weeks old and wasn't baggy on me at the time I got them.

When Britt saw me she gave me a great big hug... and the little smart alack comes out with.. Ohhhh look I can reach all the way around you! LOL

[Piffi]

Wow, what a great job Pete!

For those of you not on Facebook... I posted this last night...

I haven't been on a scale for a long time. The last time I was on the scale I was at about 350 pounds. Well tonight at the get together Gen found a scale and called me in to weigh me. I was hoping I would at least be out of the 300s... and I am happy to say that I am! As of tonight I weigh 272 pounds! I know I still have a way to go.. but what can I say.... I am thrilled!

[Dragonfire]

That is awesome.     You're doing great.
